Options For Evaluating Exposure - Nikon D300 Complete Manual

find myself blowing out the Red channel a lot (red patch), and
Red+Green channels a lot (yellow patch).
In short, take the time to learn how to control exposure with
your D300. Fortunately, the camera has some useful tools
that'll help you do just that, which I'll cover next.

Options for Evaluating Exposure

The D300 has two useful exposure evaluation features that
analyze the exposure data after you've taken a picture: RGB
Histogram and Highlights. These features need to be turned
on:
1. Press the MENU button to see the menu system.
2. Use the Direction pad to navigate to the PLAYBACK
menu (right arrow in a box icon).
3. Use the Direction pad to navigate to Display mode
and press the > key on the Direction pad to select it.
4. Use the Direction pad to navigate to each option you
wish to set and press the > key on the Direction pad to
toggle it on or off (
Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Nikon D300
indicates it is turned on).
